Ho Chi Minh (1890 - 1969), the founder of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the first chairman of the Vietnamese Workers'Party, and the chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam. He is the outstanding leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the great proletarian revolutionary, the outstanding Marxist, the great mentor of the Vietnamese socialist revolution, and the great leader that the Vietnamese people sincerely love.

Ho Chi Minh, formerly known as Yu Bicheng, was a teacher, seaman and servant in his early years and renamed Ho Chi Minh in his early revolutionary activities. In 1920, Ho Chi Minh joined the Communist Party in France and became the first communist party in Vietnam. In 1923, he went to the Soviet Union to participate in the International Farmers Congress and the Fifth Congress of the Communist International. In mid-December 1924, Hu Zhiming became the pseudonym Li Rui from the Soviet Union to Guangzhou, China. In 1925, the Vietnam Youth Revolutionary Comrades Association was founded in Guangzhou, China. Liu Shaoqi, Peng Yu, and Chen Yannian of the Communist Party of China also gave lectures to them. In 1930, Ho Chi Minh led the establishment of the Communist Party of Vietnam in Hong Kong; in 1941, he organized the Vietnam Independent Alliance to lead the anti-France and anti-Japanese struggle.

On August 13, 1942, he became a pseudonym Hu Zhiming, went to China to contact the Vietnamese anti-Japanese revolutionary forces, and was arrested by the local government of Chiang Kai-shek in Jingxi County, Guangxi Province. Since then he has been imprisoned in 18 prisons in 13 counties across Guangxi. For 13 months, he was devastated and tortured. He was not able to eat and drink, his teeth fell off, his hair was gray, and his face was awkward. He wrote more than one hundred poems and later published it in "Prison Diary" on September 10, 1943 from Liuzhou. The prison was released and immediately contacted with the local Vietnamese nationalist national salvation organizations. At the same time, he resumed contact with the party and returned to the country to continue to lead the revolution.

After the defeat of Germany in May 1945, the Japanese fascist aggression was dying, and the Viet Nam had controlled most of the country. Hu Zhiming pointed out in time that the conditions for the total uprising have matured. According to Ho Chi Minh’s suggestion, the National Conference of the Party, held on August 13-15, was held in the new wave of Xuanguang Province and decided to immediately launch the national total uprising. Under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese people triumphantly launched the August Revolution and liberated the entire country of Vietnam. On September 2, 1945, at the mass rally of 500,000 people in Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh read the "Declaration of Independence" on behalf of the interim government and solemnly declared the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. After the national general election, the first Congress of Vietnam held in March 1946 unanimously elected Ho Chi Minh as the chairman and prime minister of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

From 1945 to 1954, as the leader of the Vietnamese party and government, Ho Chi Minh led the Vietnamese people to fight for the defense of the revolutionary regime and achieved a great victory in the war against the law. From 1954 to 1965, he led the socialist revolution in northern Vietnam and the struggle to reunify the motherland. In the 1960s, the people were led to carry out a great war against the United States. On September 2, 1969, President Ho Chi Minh died in Hanoi, at the age of 79. Ho Chi Minh is not only a great leader whom the Vietnamese people sincerely love, but also an old friend whom the Chinese people respect very much. He has been to China many times during his 60-year revolutionary career, and has forged a profound friendship with Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai and other older revolutionaries in China.
